    Most people tend to play killer during events. A lot of players play very toxic during events and it's typically felt more as a solo survivor so its easier to play killer.

    Also the new challenges encourage almost 50:50 killer:Survivor gameplay so a lot of people will be playing more killer at the moment to complete the challenges.

    People often play more killer during double bp events due to them generating more bp.

    Also r19 must slow it down, should speed up abit at r15 or so

    Less than 5sec as killer rank8

    More than 10 min as survivor rank9

    Asia serve

    If your rank is lower than 15 it would be longer than normal

    The thing is, I'd play killer more if it didn't take so long to get a lobby at lower ranks. Every time I queue up as killer because I'm ready to dip my toe in the killer side of the lake, the wait is so long I give up.

    As a follow up to my previous comment, it's been like this OUTSIDE of events.

    Lower Rank Killer wait time is a killer in its own rite any time of the year. You have to commit to the wait in order to rank up and get out of the long wait times. I tend to plan things around the wait and just keep checking back. Do not plan on hopping on and getting in a game because it will never work like that with those gray ranked Killers.

    20 minute wait just to get in a lobby against a 4 man SWF.

    5-10 minutes atm at rank 11, was much worse at rank 15. I expect it to be <1 min at rank 5, if I ever get there.

    Just do something on the side and keep an eye on the screen.

    I post on the forums while waiting for a lobby lol.

    Rank 18 killer. The wait is 15+ min during the day and ~ 6 min after 11pm.

    Rank 12 survivor. Queue times are 1-3 min now with the event.
